Unsafe Medical Devices Attorneys in Ohio

Medical device manufacturers spend a lot of time promoting their products
to the general public. They often suggest in their advertisements that
consumers suffering particular maladies can rely on their devices to improve
patient health and enhance existing quality of life. The problem is that
a number of these products turn out to be unsafe, and patients are often
the last to discover the downsides.

Sometimes, this is because medical devices are sold without adequate disclosures.
In other words, injured consumers discover they were never given the opportunity
to evaluate whether the benefits promised by the doctor, hospital or manufacturer
were enough to outweigh the risks associated with using the devices. Our
attorneys at Spangenberg Shibley & Liber LLP offer a free case evaluation.

You may be wondering: Isn't the United States Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) responsible for protecting the public from dangerous medical devices?
The answer is yes. The FDA is charged with the task of scrutinizing medical
devices before they are used. However, the agency is under constant pressure
from manufacturers to approve products quickly.

A process under which the FDA operates, called “fast track”
status, is specially designed to reduce approval time. We now know that
many of these approvals are premature and improper. Ironically, the medical
device that is intended to improve one's health may end up causing
more damage than the condition being treated.
